The Bandy World Cup is an international bandy competition played in Sweden at the beginning of the bandy season every year, in autumn. The participating teams qualify based on their results in the previous bandy season.

The World Cup is not played by national teams but is for bandy clubs from around the world,[1] and should therefore not be confused with the Bandy World Championship. It is usually considered to be "the world championship for clubs".[1] The tournament has been dominated by the Swedish and Russian teams.
